Title: A drogue assembly for in-flight refuelling
Inventor: EDMONDSON BRYAN JOHN
IPC: B64D39/00
Filed: 1998-05-27
Abstract: A drogue assembly (10) for in-flight refuelling includes a circumferential array of triangular support arms which carry a drogue parachute (29) which extends circumferentially around their shorter sides.  Each support arm is pivoted and mounted on a pivot pin (19) at its apex for pivotal movement in a radial direction. At least alternate ones of the support arms carry leaf springs which extend into pockets (51) formed in the drogue parachute (29). The leaf springs act on the drogue parachute (29) in opposition to air pressure loading on it in flight so that it tends to increase the chord angle of the drogue parachute (29) from the leading edge. Hence the effective area of the drogue parachute in flight is varied automatically above a certain predetermined minimum which depends on the dimensions of the trailing edge so it is reduced as air speed is increased and vice versa.

Title: Concrete finishing trowel having an electronically actuated steering assembly
Inventor: SMITH PETER J
IPC: E01C19/22
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: A self-propelled concrete finishing trowel has an improved power steering control system that steers the machine by tilting the driven shaft(s) of the rotor assembly or assemblies of the machine without requiring the imposition of fatiguing actuating forces by the machine's operator. The steering control system includes at least one electric actuator, such as a ball screw actuator, coupled to each rotor assembly of the machine and controlled by an operator--manipulated controller. The controller preferably includes at least one, and possibly two, joysticks that can be manipulated by the operator to steer the machine in the direction of joystick motion and preferably at a speed that is proportional to the magnitude of joystick movement. In the typical case in which the machine is steered by pivoting a gearbox of at least one rotor assembly about two axes, a separate actuator is provided for each axis of gearbox pivoting. The resultant machine is easy to operate, lightweight, and exhibits little risk of high-pressure fluid spills.

Patent CA-2316538-A1 (CA)
Title: Compression-resistant sanitary napkin
Inventor: LARIVIERE CHRISTIANE
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 2000-08-15
Abstract: A sanitary napkin for placement in a crotch portion of an undergarment of a wearer having a longitudinal axis and being further characterized by having at least one preferential bending zone extending obliquely in relation to the longitudinal axis. The preferential bending zone may be created by mechanically embossing the surface of the sanitary napkin to locally densify the absorbing materials of the article. The preferential bending zone causes the sanitary napkin to resist lateral compression forces exerted by the thighs of the wearer and thereby prevents bunching of the article on the undergarment. The preferential bending zone also enhances fluid distribution by channeling the fluid away from the point of contact. The advantages of the present invention are increased efficiency of the sanitary napkin in collecting bodily fluids and greater comfort for the wearer of the napkin, particularly when the napkin is thin.

Patent CA-2317676-A1 (CA)
Title: Implement hitch
Inventor: MOSDAL BRIAN THOMAS
IPC: B60D1/14
Filed: 2000-09-05
Abstract: A hitch link structure includes two hitch tubes angled with respect to each other and having forward ends connected by upper and lower hitch plates welded to the tubes.  The plates include weld cutouts designed so the same plates can be used with a variety of different hitch tube angles, depending on the width of the mainframe hitch mount-up.  Three apertures in the forward end of each of the plates receive bolts which connect the selected hitch link to the plates. The apertures also act as weld fixturing locators to speed hitch construction. The weld cutouts, in generally a half moon configuration, facilitate low cost fillet welds at easily accessible locations regardless of hitch tube angle and facilitate fillet weld connections in relatively lowly stressed areas. The lower plate is apertured to define an intermediate support hole for the safety chain, and the central bolt connecting the hitch link also attaches to the safety chain so the chain is accommodated without additional parts.
Patent CA-2319279-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YASUMOTO YOSHITAKA
IPC: A63F13/06
Filed: 2000-09-13
Abstract: In a 3D computer graphics system such as a 3D home video game console, efficient techniques for generating non-photorealistic effects such as cartoon outlining involve generating and displaying border lines at object edges based on contents of a pixel memory. Some techniques use depth (Z) values to determine which pixels are located at object edges, and selectively blend border coloration into those pixels which are then displayed. Object edges are located by comparing pixel depth values with neighboring pixel depth values (e.g., calculating a "distance" value based on the absolute values of the distances) between a pixel's depth and depths of neighboring pixels). A desired border line color is blended into the pixel's color value based on the calculated distance value. In one particular example, the distance value is used to calculate a pixel Alpha value which is then used to control the amount of border color that is blended into the pixel color. The Alpha value may be modulated by pixel depth. Other techniques may cause object portions with identification values stored in frame buffer locations normally used to store Alpha values. These ID values can be used to identify object portion intersections for applying a border line color to.
